“Hey, where’s Fred?”
In an event that is only slightly more exciting than the name suggests, eighteen two-man teams competed in a national contest to see who could dig the fastest, neatest most luxurious graves during a competition in Debrecen, Hungary recently. Important details, via BBC News:
* Organizers say the contest is intended to increase respect and recognition for the gravediggers’ profession and attract more people to the job.
* The winners will compete in a regional contest to be held in Slovakia.
* A regulation size grave is 2.7 feet wide X 6.
